Clown with Peter Sweet

5 Days of Clown with Peter Sweet
28 September – 2 October 2016

The simple open presence of each person, revealing themselves generously to an audience, is the source of the comedy that we will explore in this workshop. We will work playfully and precisely to reveal the particular way that each of you is hilariously funny. To start we will cover the fundamentals of contact, breath and presence that make all of your actions come alive onstage. From here we will enter the ecstatic madness of the clown-state (!), where common non-sense becomes obvious fact and doing absolutely nothing is the funniest thing anyone’s ever seen. Learn to follow the impulses that come from your core movement and discover your clown, with it’s own rhythm, comedic timing, voice and way of relating to the world.

This is work is simple, clear and full of play. You don’t need any special experience before you arrive, just the desire to live fully and share what your are with your audience. There is great potential for poetry, madness and human understanding. Come prepared to laugh, cry, shake like puppy that’s just out of the bath and generally exceed your expectations of what is possible.
